Little Auk

Ramsey Sound, as viewed from St Justinian, was fairly quiet this morning.

Lots of black-headed gulls, herring gulls, great black-backs and kittiwakes, but mostly feeding en masse out at Carreg Trai. A few dozen herring gulls in the field north of the lifeboat station, with a handful of common gulls. Only one guillemot and two razorbills in the Sound, but more out to the north beyond Carreg Trai again. Very few cormorants or shags anywhere.

Star bird of the morning - a little auk haring south through the Sound as fast as its little wings could carry it.

And two porpoises also going south.
